On Feb. 10, the famous and wei
known Uncle Toms Cabin Company
gave a performance at Hollands
| Opera House, and was well attended
there being about three hundred
colored persons present and the great
er part of the crowd being of the
best families of HOpkinsville, aud
paying the best respect and attention
10 the performance, but unfortunately
there was one among us who wa,
disposed to act disorderly and deflet
the house police in all his biddingl
which resulted in row. The house
police struck Mclaughlin with his
club and was relieved of his victim
by aid oflhe city police. Little ex-
element prevailed but quiet was
soon restored aud the play went on
uninterrupted. The Tri- Weekly New
Era contained the following:
"The curtain went up on the Uncle
Toms Cabin performance at the Opera
House Tuesday night to a crowded
house. The blood hounds and Jubilee
singers were drawing card and The
gallery was packed with over 30(
sightseeing coons."

when we should appreciate aud

Winter Weather in Dakota.

One day last week found us fifteen
miles north of Towner Oak, on the
sharp slope of one of those rounded
bills which are such characteristic
feature Of the landscape in the Mouse
River country. Not cloud is in the
sky and the even, white glow along
the horizon outlines the most distant
objects with startling plainess. The
sunlight unimpeded in it's flight to
the earth, is warm upon the land.
The view is glorious. A scattered
grove of gnarled oaks covers the
slope, while from its base and reach
ing southwark 10 the distant Mouse
River, rise succession of rounded,
grass covered buttes, with many a

MARRIED BY PROXY.
A Ballad Of the Present and
Future.

eh1e1s
PRESENT.
Hans Schneider had sweetheart
Infar on Fatherland,
While Hans lived in Milwaukee,
And footed in the band.
He loved his sweetheart fondly,
And keenly felt her loss,
But Hans had not the money
Topay her way across.
And wilhclmina waited,
and Schneider waited, too,
Because, in their condition,
They'd nothing else to do.
One morning in the papers,
Hans Schneider re ID about
How Nina and her August
Knocked everybody out.
"Dose mairitches by broxy,
Yoost dts me like a shoe;
Und me und vilhelmina,
VIII marry dot way too"
Hans spoke, then wrote letter,
No sooner said than done,
And Hans and Wilhelmina
Were speedily made one.
FUTURE.
Tenyears OF weddedproxy
Had fed into the past,
And Hans and Wilhelmina
Were soon to meet at last.
For she was coming 10 him
Across the billowy brine,
His faithful Wflhelmina,
The lily of the Rhine.
The day OF her arrival
Hans Schneider laughed and cried.
And waited at the station
To meet his coming bride.
She came, ut last, and Schneider
Stood by the station gate
To greet his Wilhelmina-
But not the other eight.
Hans looked in some amazement,
And WIlhelmina cried;
"Dot ist your ladder, children,
Go sthand oop nit his side"
Hans Schneider stood among them,
As passive as clam,
But in his soul he muttered:
Ino likes dot, py tam"

EXECUTIVE PARDONs.
President Cleveland Restores Several
Convicts to Citizenship.

OOhtACto "
WASHINGTON, March 14th.-The President
has taken the following action ON applica-
tions for pardons: In the case of Dennis
Kelly, convicted of manslaughter and SEN
fenced to Is months Imprisonment at Port
land, Me-, he says: "The defendant having
been good soldier, and his offense appar-
emily the result of an excitable tempera-
ment, rather than any malicious intent,
and the convict having served the entire ex-
tent of his sentence, pardon is granted to
restore him to citizenship"
He has also granted pardon to George
H. Daubney, sentenced to three years i'm
prisonment in Wisconsin, for pension
frauds The President says: "His offense
prejudices me very much against granting
him any relief, but his sentence having
been reserved, and Hon. Edward L. Bragg,
himself brave and distinguished soldier,
having given the opinion that since his sem
tence the convict has behaved well, par
don is granted for purpose of restoring him
to the rights of citizenship"
He has pardoned L. s. Knight, sentenced
to two years Imprisonment in the Albany
Penitentiary for forcibly entering a
Postoffice. A pardon is granted upon the
ground of previous good character which
Knight being accused of the crimo far
from home and among strangers) he could
not show, and upon the further ground
that he has served more than two-thirds of
his sentence.
He has pardoned NJ. Fleming, sentenced
in Virginia to three months imprisonment
and $500 fine for violating the internal
revenue laws, on the ground that he has
served his full term, and the only effect OF
pardon will be to relieve him of the fine.
He has also pardoned James McGrath,

gotten in the theatrical history of this city
The audience at the Star Theater to see
Bernhardt was fairly representative. The
theater was well filled, but not crowded.
Bernhardt had very cordial reception,
the applause when she first came on the
stage lasting several minutes. The play
was Sardous Fedora" probably one of
the best in the repertoire for display of
Bernhardt's strongest qualities as an
actress. She was recalled at the end of
every act several times, and after the sec
ond received the usual complement of
flowers. Bernhardt has not changed since
she was here six years ago. Her stage
bearing is as graceful, her voice as musical,
and her simulations of tremendous pas
sions as effective as ever.

HOME RULE.
Gladstone and Chamberlain Each Said
to Have Made Concessions.

OOoSCooAohos
LONDON, March 18th. : Chamberlain's
speech left bad impression here. The
point of it is generally interpreted as an
effort to shift to Gladstone's shoulders the
odium of the continued disunion of the
Liberal party. Chamberlain has decided
apparently, that SO long as Gladstone leads
the Liberal party. his part must be that of
an opponent. Gladstone has modified his
attitude, which, it is thought, will bring
him nearer to a settlement Some of the
specific conditions of home rule which
Chamberlain laid down have been con-
ceded. The question is, however, whether
the Liberal party, as whole, will agree to
withhold all control over any order from
the Dublin Parliament, thus reducing it to
the level of a vestry. Some concession may
have been made on this point, as well as on
the exclusion of Ulster, which is one of
Chamberlain's conditions. 1t remains to
be seen whether the Liberal party will per-
nit Chamberlain, for the ends of his own,
to stand in the way of reunion. His
power with the Radical wing is almost
gone. Personally. he has never been pop
ular. All through the Irish crisis he has
shown defects of character in such a way
as to put his merits from view. A Liberal
reunion may yet be decided without him.
THE LIBERAL LEADER DECLARES HIS AD-
HERENcE TO PRINCIPLE.
LONDON, March 14th.-Gladstone reply
ing to a request of number of his adhe-
rents for information as to the concessions
offered to the Unionists, declined to enter
into details, but says the Liberals may rely
upon his firm adherence to the princi-
Piles and basis of his home-rule policy.
The Radical Unionists attribute the fail
ure of the conference negotiations TO Glad
stones decision to abide by ParneIl's de-
mands. There are articles which many
believe tend to show that Sir William Yer
non Harceurt misled Chamberlain and Sir
George O. Trevelyan, causing them to be-
lieve that Gladstone had accepted Cham
lain's proposals 1t is thought probable
Gladstone was on the verge Of asserting
